“ Seize time by the fore-lock RUSSELL EDWIN COBB “Ty College Course Birthday: April 20. Favorite occupation: Driving a flivver. Favorite expression: Rough it up, kid. Favorite drink: Old Crow. Favorite song: “Dream Daddy.” Russell Cobb? Why of course we know Russell. While “Ty” doesn’t take after his namesake so far as indulging in the active part of our national pastime is concerned, he is an enthusiastic rooter at all the games. Cobb came to C. H. S. when we were Juniors, and his broad smile soon won him many friends. And who hasn’t, with uncon- cealed joy, seen Russell come down the street in the Flivver, and offer a lift, thus saving a long walk on a hot day? We know, we’ve been there! For good nature “Ty” can’t be beat. No one ever saw him angry, and if there is some problem that troubles you, just ask him, he is always ready to help out. Russell will be at W. P. I. next year. At Tech, he is sure to up- hold the honor of our class. 24

“ A daughter of the gods, divinely tall and most divinely fair.” MADELINE HOYT CHILD “ Maddy ” “Maggie” “Peggy” Basketball Team, 3-4; Hiking Club, 3; Junior Prom College Course Birthday: April 24. Favorite occupation: Arguing her exact height. Favorite expression: “Very collegiate.” Favorite drink: Gingerale with ice cream. Favorite song: “Maggie, Yes Mam, Come Right Upstairs.” Maggie stepped into class one morning during our freshman year, and has been stepping right along ever since, — yet why shouldn’t she? She represents the girls of ’24 at all the dances, and is always sure of having a good time. A story went around one day that “Maggie” would like to be a clerk in Brockleman’s. Well you never can tell! Stranger things have happened! And say, I almost forgot, “Peggy” is some basket- ball player. You know, — she is just the right height for a center and has it all over her opponent, for she can tap it right over her head. “Maggie” often said that she would like to be a dancer and we’re sure if she ever should take up that profession she would be a grand success. “Maddy’s” plans for the future are a little vague, but we know whatever she takes up she will just come “smiling through.” 23

“ The gravity and stillness of your youth, the world has noted.” LILLIAN DOROTHY DONNELLY “Lill” “Don” Commercial Course Birthday: March 28. Favorite occupation: Hiking. Favorite expression: Oh, it’s the berries! Favorite drink: H 2 S 04 . Favorite song: “A Smile Will Go a Long, Long Way.” We surmise that “Lill” likes to take trips on foot to some of our surrounding towns, — the unexplored regions of forts, caves, for instance. You’re right. She does, with the “bunch.” We have also seen her out strolling — but that’s another story. “Lill” was an interested spectator at all the girl’s basketball games, where she surely helped Anna score that extra point or two. Then was the time that she used her voice a trifle more than she was accustomed to in the classroom. But, with the “bunch” “Don” certainly enjoyed herself, as the teachers will testify. Just what she could see to laugh at, we haven’t yet been able to puzzle out, but it must have been good. Just a little uncertainty surrounds “Don’s” plans for the future, but somehow or other we think she would make a good teacher. Anyway, good luck, “Don.” 25
